Bug ID: 122057
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: [sidebar] Custom tool panel extension "confuses" the
sidebar
Classification: Code
Product: General
Version: AOO400-dev
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: CONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: ui
Assignee: [email protected]

Install the Watching Window extension from
http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/watchingwindow
or build the extension sample from odk/examples/cpp/custompanel
When an extension providing a custom tool panel UI element is installed, the
sidebar gets "confused".
For example, once the sdk demo is installed, open a Writer document. You'll see
the custom panel both in the task pane and the sidebar. Following issues in the
sidebar:
* the usual icons disappear from the task bar, only "Soylent Green" and
"Soylent Red" are shown
* clicking on a tab activates the respective panel, but it "does not work" (you
don't see the green/red background)
If tool panel extensions are still supported, looks like they shouldn't be
integrated by default in the sidebar.
An extension developer may want to provide a tool panel but not a sidebar
panel; this has the advantage that the user might leave the sidebar with the
property panel, to manipulate the document; and dock the task pane with the
extension panel, thus having both the task pane and the sidebar, for different
purposes with different functionality.
